    Blue Jumper You can do that with just about any frame you want .....................

    In the 1970s we purchased regular frames, plastic as well as metal, cut of the lower rim and drilled the holes inserted the nylon thread and had rimless frames.

    You can do that with just about any frame you want. All you need is a drill, a file, some fine sand paper and a polish buffer. It does not even take much time to do it.

    Ive done that with a plastic a long long time ago. That also voids the warranty on the frame

    There were days when the only warranty was for defective products and you would get a replacement from the supplier.

    These days you charge the buyer an extra cost of a new frame as warranty and hope, and prey, that they will never break it.

    Thats all on the manufactuers who have been offering longer warranties to compete with their competitors

    The manufacturers do not give warranties besides replacements for defective items. The cost of purchasing frames has been upgraded by distributors to cover for extended warranties.

    It is you the retailers that are asking for long warranties from the distributors who then overcharges for them.
